Trying to help out my friend with a no start on his CBR 1000rr.
Here's the scenario leading up... he thought he might have been running down the battery over the summer.. but it always fired up. Once he left the key on for 2 hrs and it died, but again.. after a bit of riding it seemed fine.
Come to the end of the season he washed it. *not sure if this may be related but it's been at least 1 month or more outside since*.
He rode it once or twice more. He goes outside to start it up once in a while to keep things moving. 3 weeks ago he started it up, and went inside the house. The bike died and would not start up since then.
Here's what I checked out:
1) put a battery jumper on.. no dice. Then decided to leave it trickle charge overnight. With all the cranking battery was definitely low, but it's good by this morning again.
2) checked inside his fuel tank.. he had fuel, but I added in 1 more gallon of fuel mixed with some stabil for good measure.
3) it is indeed a FI bike, no lights or errors, when I flip the key on I can hear the fuel pump priming.
4) It cranks and with this cold weather it even smokes as the engine is cranking, but it won't catch.
5) after all this starting etc, we tried the procedure in the manual to clear out any fuel that may have fouled it up.
Since this isn't a carbed bike I can't see spraying ether etc to get it to fire up.. what can we try to get this running?
Also could not locate a fuse box (I'm going online to look at it now) Just in case there is something that's blown.. but it seems to me if everything lights up and is cranking, I'm not sure what fuse could be blown that would be related.
Thanks a ton guys!
